Psalms 2 and 22 describe the Messiah as striking fear into the rulers of nations, forcing them to glorify Him, “Now therefor, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, with trembling rejoice, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled.” Psalms 2:10-12, “Yes, to him shall all the proud of the earth bow down; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust” Psalms 22:29. However, the Jews knew they were just as capable as receiving the wrath of the Lord, leading them to worry and seek for God to tell them how to avoid this. Psalms 69 displays the fear of God’s people who have sinned against Him, begging for redemption, in fear that they will receive persecution from Him along with their enemies, “Answer me, O Lord, for your merciful love is good; according to your abundant compassion, tur to me. Hide not your face from your servant; for I am in distress, make hast to answer me. Draw near to me, redeem me, set me free because of my enemies!” Psalms
